German Heraldry

This is based on a facsimile of a German roll of arms from about 1340. The roll starts with a collection of flags and then a catalogue of the arms of royalty, some of them fictional. The useful material for re-creators starts with the second row of arms on the front of Strip II. Gunnvor has provided modern redrawings and blazons for the arms. WARNING: the pages take a long time to load.

This is a digitization of a roll of arms originally dating from 1450 and after. The Wikipedia Commons article on this wappenbuch has small versions of all the images, which are linked to medium sized images.

This is an extraction of devices, with achievements, from a 16th century chronicle covering the period from the 7th century to the mid 15th century. This particular manuscript may not be contemporary with the chronicle, and so the images may not be a good guide to medieval emblazons, but they are useful for style purposes.

This article is a collection of photographs of heraldic display in various m
edia from the medieval wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
